This empirical observation looks like a paradox for those who consider that the meaning of a policy proposal is fundamental during the policy process. This article suggests a new way to combine the garbage can model with the argumentative turn by taking into account both of them: the coupling process between a solution and a problem highlighted by Cohen, March and Olsen and the gluing process that allows the argumentative strategy which contributes to give meaning to a proposal.}, keywords = {strategische Planung; strategic planning; Politik; politics; Recycling; recycling; politische Entwicklung; political development; Umweltpolitik; environmental policy; politische Entscheidung; political decision; Entscheidungsfindung; decision making; politische Kommunikation; political communication}}
